Kate Middleton Topless Photos Published By Magazine

Poor Kate Middleton — her privacy has been violated! French magazine ‘Closer’ has published topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge. While embarrassing, we’ve seen the pics and she looks great! Here’s the details.

The British Royal Family is reportedly considering legal action after French magazine Closer published topless photos of Kate Middleton.

The photos were reportedly taken last week while the couple was staying in Provence at a chateau owned by Lord Linley, the Queen’s nephew, ahead of their trip, a Diamond Jubilee tour of the Far East.

“A little more than a year after their marriage, the royal couple was offered a romantic getaway, far from the protocol and etiquette in their very own garden of Eden. Almost alone in the world…because Closer was there! After the Olé Olé holidays of Prince Harry in Las Vegas, discover the very sensual shots of Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William.

Kate Middleton Photo Scandal, Immediately After Harry’s Nude Photos, Devastates The Royal Family

This must be absolutely devastating! The Royal Family just moved past Prince Harry’s own nude photo scandal and must now handle photos of Kate. We certainly feel for Kate. Even the future Queen of England deserves privacy!

“Their sadness has turned to anger and disbelief as we have learnt more about the photographs. We believe a red line has been crossed and we are consulting the French lawyers to see what, if any, action can be taken,” a spokesman for the couple told Mail Online.

Royals Release Statement On Kate’s Topless Photo Scandal

Royal aides released a statement saying, “Their Royal Highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner. The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to The Duke and Duchess for being so. Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them. Officials acting on behalf of Their Royal Highnesses are consulting with lawyers to consider what options may be available to The Duke and Duchess.”

“The Duke and the Duchess were told at breakfast and are obviously saddened and disappointed if they are genuine as they believe they have a right to privacy – particularly on holiday,” a senior royal source told MailOnline.

If the Royal Family does sue, it would be a surprise. They have no prior history of suing the press, despite many occasions where they have been tested before.
